According to salary figures released by the Nevada Athletic
Commission, McGregor will earn $3 million for his headlining
showdown with Nate Diaz at
UFC
202, the largest disclosed payday in the history of the Las
Vegas-based promotion. That figure tops the record of $2.5 million
set by Brock
Lesnar at UFC 200 on July 9. Diaz, meanwhile, will earn $2
million for the welterweight bout. Neither McGregor nor Diaz will
receive a win bonus.

Both fighters have received a significant raise from their first
meeting: McGregor earned a then record $1 million purse for his
second-round submission loss to Diaz at UFC 196 on March 5. In
victory, Diaz pocketed a flat salary of $500,000.

As usual, the figures do not account for pay-per-view points or any
performance-based or discretionary bonuses a fighter might receive.
They also do not account for any deductions made by the commission
for taxes, insurance, etc., and do not include any sponsorship
money that a fighter may acquire for their performance.

Meanwhile, Anthony
Johnson will earn $135,000 to show and $135,000 to win in the
light heavyweight co-main event, while Glover
Teixeira’s payday is $65,000 to show and $65,000 to win. In
another featured bout, Donald
Cerrone will make $85,000, with another $85,000 if he wins,
while adversary Rick StoryWill
Garner $41,000 to show and $41,000 to win.

A complete list of UFC 202 payouts, which takes place at the
T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will be released on Monday.
